Does it hurt to get braces on?

Answer:
right when you get them on they dont hurt, but it feels sooooooo weird...it feels like you have a mouth guard in..basically the only time when they hurt is when they change the wire to make your teeth move around. OR when you get cuts in your mouth.i would recommend that you take advil or asprin BEFORE you go to the orthodontist and after it too...to help the cuts in your mouth you should first brush your teeth alot. i dont know why this helps, but it does...they also have wax made to put on your braces on the bracket that is poking in your mouth. THIS WORKS SOOOO WELL!! make sure to get extra. also..rinse your mouth with warm salt water. it will taste nasty but it works!!!good luck =]

NO not really!! all it is is glue on your teeth and they stick medal things(brackets) on top!! the only part that KINDA hurts is when they put the medal rings around your molars!! And i suggest that RIGHT after you get the braces on eat your favorite food b/c in 20 minutes or so your teeth will be sooo sore!! and they will continue to be sore for about 4 to 5 days!! HOPE THIS HELPSSS!!

it will hurt for a day or 2, and you will have to eat stuff like soup, but its totally worth getting them, if u really need em! when i had braces, they hurt when i got em on and then they have to tighten them and when that happens, it will hurt for a day or so, not that much.

not at all as long as you take care of your teeth and brush every day. the first week, it will feel uncomfortable but not painful it will be very hard to bit, so chew with your back teeth as much as possible and never bite into things. cut up your food in small peices. you shouldn't have any problems with pain, but if they do arise, as did happen to me a few time, its best to take care of things as soon as possible to that you don't mess up your teeth. some times, somthing would get bent out of shape and poke me and that would hurt.

just like for the 1st week..sumtimes less time then that. and then when u do the rubber bands..ouchie it hurts. but other than that they dont.

It probably won't hurt when you get it on for the first day, but on the second day, it will hurt and possibly for the following days too.

---

Nope, the process of putting them on is completely painless. The only thing I'ver heard is you may get a bit of a sore mouth because your mouth is stretched for a while.

---

yes but only when the dentist adjust the braces, really not alot of pain, but some discomfort to your gums...

---

don't ask me i am wondering the same thing and i have to get them also.

---

i am also going to have to get them 鈾?i guess good luck to the both of us.

---

There is some discomfort throughout the process.
